| The methods
of off-season longan production in Thailand are presented: (1)
application of potassium chlorate (as soil drench, foliar spray, and
trunk or stem injection) and sodium chlorate to regulate flowering, and
(2) cultivation of non-seasonal flowering cultivars. The physiological
responses of longan to potassium chlorate and orchard management
practices are briefly discussed. |
